Oxidation and Reduction
  1. Define oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen loss / gain, and identify such reactions from given information
    1. Oxidation is the gain of oxygen. The loss of oxygen is the reduction.
    2. Define redox in terms of electron transfer, and identify such reactions from given information
      1. Oxidation and reduction reactions always occur together in a redox reaction. Redox changes can often be observed as significant colour changes e.g. rusting / corrosion of iron.iron + copper(II) sulfate → iron(II) sulfate + copper
        1. oxidation is the loss of electrons, reduction is gain of electrons
        2. that's it
